Riley Baker, a track & field athlete at Eastern Illinois.
Last month he was announced as one of six winners of the prestigious
OVC Scholar Athlete Award. The award is the highest individual honor that can be earned by OVC student-athletes and is given annually to three men and three women student-athletes for their accomplishments in both the classroom and athletic arena, and because of their leadership qualities.
Riley is currently a redshirt junior and been a member of three Panther Championship squads (2019 Outdoor, 2020 Indoor, 2021 Outdoor) and earned a quartet of All-OVC honors, including first-team All-OVC in outdoor 400 meter hurdles and the outdoor 4x400 relay in 2021.
In the classroom he has a 3.9 grade point average in teacher education and earned the OVC Academic Medal of Honor. He serves as a Department Ambassador for the Department of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation (KSR), is a member of the Physical Education/Teacher Education (PETE) Club and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). Baker has also volunteered at numerous events around campus and in the Charleston community.
